Mary Jane Gilmore was the daughter of Elias "Eli" and Eleanor "Ellen" (Brafford) Gilmore. Mary Jane married Thomas Porter Ramsey on January 16, 1854 in Clinton Co., IN. Thomas and Mary Jane had 8 children-Eli W. Ramsey (died at age 10), Mary Ellen "Ella" (Ramsey) Seaman, Samuel Harvey Ramsey, Ann Jenetta "Angie Nettie" (Ramsey) Bryan, James Lawrence Ramsey, John Edward Ramsey, William Thomas Ramsey (died at age 4 1/2) and Ada Ann (Ramsey) Bryan.
In 1885, Mary Jane was taken to an insane asylum by her brother because she had had mental trouble for several years and she had become unmanageable. She was listed as an inmate at the Clinton County Poor Farm Register in 1887, 1888, 1889 and in Mar 1890, shortly before she died on July 31, 1890. She is not in the Clinton County death records, but most likely died at the Clinton County Poor Farm. Insanity appears to run in the Gilmore family (father's side) and Brafford family (mother's side). Mary's son, John Edward Ramsey had mental problems as did two of John Ed's children.
